[eddiegibo]

I love this jam, from the heart!

[SskKgG01]

I grew up in Ohio and was in my late teens when Switch hit the scene. Their first album was the stuff and most of the songs on got equal play time in the clubs and on the radio. I can still see our old gang on the dance floor dressed to the nines in our disco diva clothes under the flashing lights and dancing to this song.

[tiffy4552]

i dig this so so much! i call your name! 

[fej7660]

If you can't get none of this song the girl ain't right

[babegurl06]

[tiffy4552]

[ThePhoenix3710]

This was the song then and now born in the mid 60's grew up with this in high school.(I CALL YOUR NAME)!!!!

[destinyshae07]

well i was born in 79, but i know what good music is.. and who else but a Debarge can have a killer falsetto like that? yes! this is great!

[domgaffney1]

OMG Where did good music go? I am 17, and cant stand today's music. Thank god for youtube! I would of never found out on my own.

[TheOnlyCJSimmons]

@domgaffney1 U tell me and I will tell U. I'm 55 yrs old and the crap some of them are doing simply "SUCKS!"

[djelove312]

classics...

[tonifatron]

all they shyt is good music rather it be slow or upbeat!!!!!!!!!

[jumpoutatree]

Do these guys have another really good upbeat song? All the other stuff I hear from them is slow music. So far this is the only song I've heard that I liked.

[jumpoutatree]

Whatever music you was listening to when you first started getting laid, you gonna listen to that music for the rest of your life --- Chris Rock

[souljerkin]

if u a grown man why u sound like a young bitch

[jaybuddah]

Before Auto Tune and million dollar effects!!! Who sounds this good today???

[mrgriffitz1]

@jaybuddah auto tune existed back then.  ppl just didn't use it as much as they do now.

[DJBigEthanExclusive]

@jaybuddah THIS BROTHERS VOICE WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD,BUT DO NOT SLEEP ON HIS YOUNGER BROTHER EL!! BROTHER CAN STILL BLOW TRUST ME

[daniellelynea27]

@jaybuddah nobody..u can really feel the old school r&b music most of the new school is crap..

[gstatus1985]

lol 2 dislikes. This is the song!!!!!!

[concept8407]

i love this song.. but is that all you old heads do is talk shit??? geez shut up and enjoy the music!

[sosoduke]

[haybaybay95]

old school music will always be best school

[hquincy74]

Takes me back to a better time when music was the sound track of life.

[techdivamilan]

@hquincy74 : You are correct.  That was a strong statement that hit the nail on the head.

[KillaShon22]

one of the greatest love songs ever made....bobby debarge killed this

[PiNkStArZ102]

i wish music was still like this..my generation sucks lol!

[nirea3]

so this is where rich boy got his beat from :)

[leeza310]

"I use to think about imature things" lol I luv it

[detroitos]

[mamabearsmp]

oh those difficult high school days...this was one of the top assembly songs at Carl Hayden High School.....good song...HS sucked...

[clearlyme63]

people, this IS sex music!

[missjunie55]

Real music.it doesn't get any better than this!!

[sirchopp0903]

@daq1170 lmao that was the first thing that came to mind

[MrRealityone]

Another thing I like about this song is the instruments being played by real musician..young'ins Ya heard me!....Do that and sing....start learning that....it will put n a class not many can touch.If you love music you can do this without fanfare and fame because as long as it is within you it becomes easy to create ...Stop letting the machines create n' replace you because it is killing the essence of real R&B

[2sweet63]
